The height, weight, waist circumference and blood pressure were measured in the morning by a specially assigned physician. The waist was measured at the middle point of the line between the lower edge of the arch and the iliac spine, measured twice for an average. Blood pressure was measured in quiet state for times, 10 min apart each time, and an average was taken by three times measurements. The body mass index (BMI) is a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters.
After overnight fasting for 12 h, fasting blood was collected from the veins early in the morning. Measurements of blood glucose, ALT, AST, TB, DB, TP, ALB, Che, ALP, γ—GT, TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C and other serum indicators were performed on an automated chemistry analyzer (Hitachi 7600d-210, Japan).
